Without personal goals life can be an aimless journey lacking positive direction and achievement. If your life is to follow a Positive Path you need a plan, and to establish a plan personal goals are necessary. Before you start setting your personal goals you need to consider what you want to achieve with your life. One mistake many people make is that their personal goals just relate to career pursuits rather than to all the important areas of life. This can lead to an unbalanced existence. To focus your personal goal setting on the various areas in your life, consider setting goals in each of the following categories. They are listed in alphabetical order for convenience, however where each goal category is ranked in importance is really up to the individual. h Career
What is your chosen vocation? What level do you want to reach in your career, and by when?
h Community Service
Do you want to help make the world a better place? If so, how?
h Creative
Do you want to achieve any creative goals? If so, in what artistic pursuit?
h Education

h Family

h Financial

Another picturesque Calaveras evening on Six Mile Road welcomed the patrons eager to enjoy San Francisco's own Train performing for the sold out crowd on Saturday night. The hot weather held back and gave us a spectacular foothills evening. The crowd was there to sing, dance and sip a little wine through the night.
Opening was English Beat. Formed in 1978 with an English Ska sound this band has broken apart and then reassembled with original members Dave Wakeling and Ranking Rodgers. This was a great opening act. The band has enough hits the folks remembered, to get them out of their seats, tapping their toes and bobbing their heads with the beat. Just an outstanding warm up for the headliner. I like the 2 band lineup at Ironstone. This allows the opening act about 30 minutes extra to perform. Mirror in the Bathroom, their most well known hit sounding amazing live, yours truly dancing in the isle as well.
Train is a Grammy Award-winning alternative rock band, formed in San Francisco, California, in 1994. Their music is difficult to classify, as it contains traces of country, rock, adult contemporary and various other genres. The group started out in San Francisco with only two members, Rob Hotchkiss and Patrick Monahan, performing in coffee houses and local clubs. After deciding to form a full band, the duo recruited Jimmy Stafford on guitar, Charlie Colin on bass and, at a later date, Scott Underwood as drummer.
I have never seen any entertainer embrace a crowd and feed off of them better than Pat Monahan. First taking selfies with the crowd grabbing one cell phone after another. Follow that with throwing Train T-shirts to the crowd, even one signed by the band. Then a delightful stroll through the crowd letting a few brave ladies sing along as others were just grasping at tush or a simple touch. Just a great interaction appreciated by all of us. High fives, hugs and hand shakes all around. Train entertained us exceptionally well.
All of the hits and a few new songs were played Soul Sister, Meet Virginia, Marry Me, Calling All Angels and more. The night finished with an amazing encore starting with a blazing Eagles tribute of Hotel California followed by their biggest hit to date Drops of Jupiter finishing with David Bowie's Space Oddity. Ground Control to Major Tom time to drive safely home. Nothing but grins on our faces.
Just a tasty night out. REG and Ironstone Amphitheater got this one right.
Next up we're going country with Chris Young Sunday Aug. 14 at 7PM. Get your tickets and we'll see y'all there.

Palawan vs Boracay
The big dilemma is whether to go to Palawan or Boracay. Here is why you should choose Palawan for your next vacation.
Before we get started we should preface this article by mentioning that this opinion is entirely our own.
Obviously we are quite biased as we live on and love our home on Palawan. Although, Boracay is great too, we think Palawan is better.
Palawan is, for the second time, declared as "The Best Island in the World" recently due to its exquisite beauty, exceptional biodiversity that is rich with various species that are included in its flora and fauna which are mostly endemic to the province. Years back, before Palawan's Underground River was voted as one of the 7 Wonders of Nature, Palawan was dubbed as the Philippines' "Last Frontier" for its impressive environmental state – green forests, crystal clear waters, rich flora and fauna – a paradise!
Even before it gained the fame that it has now due to the PuertoPrincesa Underground River, Palawan have become one of the most visited places by tourists because of its natural beauty. Aside from the Underground River that is already being regularly visited by tourists, the Municipality of El Nido which is found in the northern part of the province became a major tourist destination as well due to its islands, white sands, coral reefs, lovely beaches, and crystaline water.
However, despite the beauty of Palawan back then, it had always stayed in the sidelines of the Philippines' growing roster of beaches mainly because of Boracay which became one of the major summer destinations of locals – even celebrities – because of its fine white sand and the lively night life.
Boracay is a small island in the Philippines that is found in the Municipality of Malay in Aklan, a province that is found in the Western Visayas Region. It is approximately located 315 kilometers south of Manila and 2 kilometers off the northwest tip of Panay Island.
Over the years, Boracay Island and its beaches have been receiving awards from various travel publications and agencies. Boracay is famous for being one of the world's top destinations for beach holidays and is emerging as one of the top destinations for Outdoor Activities and Nightlife. The island is administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Ack in 2012, it was awarded as the "Best Island in the World" – the same award that Palawan have received for two consecutive times recently.
Battle of Greatness
Years later after Palawan have gained more fame due to the Underground River and the many other tourist destinations in the province, people have began comparing Palawan and Boracay. Many would suggest Palawan for a 10 – day vacation instead of Boracay since Palawan – despite the fact that it is an island – has many things to offer to tourists which would entertain their ayes and would definitely satisfy their vacation, making it a memorable and interesting one.
Palawan has many sites to see and wonders to explore. Activities such as diving, snorkeling and many other activities make it more interesting than Boracay that only has few sceneries to offer and only has major highlights during the evening which is quite similar to Palawan's El Nido. Aside from the set of things that one can do in Boracay, the "relaxation" part have also began to be questioned. Many tourists consider destinations in Palawan such as El Nido, Port Barton and Sabang as faw more relaxing than that of Boracay due to the isolated areas that it has which have become more popular over the years.
Palawan is highly recommended for tourists who want to get that "Filipino" feeling, having a deserted offshore island experience where you get the opportunity to think over things and calm your mind free of all the stress from work or home. If you are after a tranquil and relaxing vacation, come to Palawan! For those who prefers having a closer encounter with nature, Palawan is definitely a great place to go to due to many activities that you can do that would let you to have a high chance of having great natural encounters and be able to get closer to nature like you've never been before.
Unlike Palawan, Boracay is more of a paradise for partygoers and is louder when it comes to nightlife. If you prefer a quiet place where you can get the chance to rest and actually relax, Palawan would definitely be a better choice than Boracay.
Compared to Boracay, Palawan has more sceneries and is a perfect spot for photographers and environmentalists since it still has its natural tropical ambiance despite having some rest houses in the area that accommodates tourists who come to the island. Regarding the beaches, Palawan have crystalline beaches that are very ideal for snorkelling, wreck diving and swimming enthusiasts. Boaracay on the other hand have been getting complaints regarding the algae situation in the area that usually happens during the dry season which includes the month of April and May which are the usual vacation months in the Philippines. Another growing concern is the cleanliness of Boracay. With very active tourism over the previous years,
Boracay and its handlers failed to see through the areas cleanliness thoroughly and found it too late that Boracay have slowly become less accommodating for visitors who want to enjoy the white sand beach tat it has due to the garbage situation that it has in its shores. Palawan on the other hand has very few concerns regarding cleanliness since the government in the province itself is making great efforts in maintaining cleanliness and orderliness in the area, along with the help of Non-Government Organizations who are advocates of nature and is on full support on the conservation of Palawan's biodiversity.
To Sum it All up
Palawan and Boracay are two different islands which has different things to offer and is ideal to anyone depending on what kind of vacation they want to experience. However, Palawan has become more frequently recommended and chosen because of it's unspoiled beauty that was managed to be kept over the years depite the continuous utilization of it for tourism industry unlike Boracay which have gained more disadvantageous points over the past years.
Boracay have become a choice to go to for those who are after the nightlife – the partying, the drinking, and the ground shaking music. Palawan on the other hand is chosen for its ambiance that is very ideal for those who wants to escape the busy city life and the stressful working days. If you're the kind of traveller who likes tranquility and relaxation during vacations and trips, Palawan would definitely be the best choice, indeed, nightlife is necessary and it is also present in Palawan, but unlike Boracay, Palawan has relaxing spots where you may isolate yourself if you do not feel like hanging out and socializing with other tourists, vacations are meant for relaxation after all.
You would also want to go to Palawan if you want intimate times with loved ones or during honeymoons to be able to have more time with the people you are with and enjoy activities together without the hassle of being surrounded by many people since Palawan has lots of destinations which divides the numbers of tourists – making other destinations less crowded than the others.If you end up getting tired of swimming, you may opt to explore the lush jugle that is filled with thousand year old trees and many fauna species who are endemic to Palawan, you may also prefer kayaking through mangrove forests and try the tamilok, or try to get in some ancient caves in the vicinity.
Unlike in Boracay where the only things you can do is go swimming and party at night, Palawan has a wider variety when it comes to the activities that you may do during your stay in whichever destination you want to go to. People who are looking for a tranquil and a peaceful time with their loved ones while enjoying the wondrous beauty of mother nature would definitely enjoy more in Palawan than in Boracay.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - The American University women's basketball team fell in an overtime nail-biter, dropping a 72-67 contest against Hofstra on Saturday. This was the fourth overtime matchup this season for the Eagles, who are now 1-3 in games that go into extra time.
AU was led by the scoring efforts of sophomores Cecily Carl and Kaitlyn Lewis, who both tallied career-highs against the Pride. Carl tied her career-best with a 21 point tally while contributing a team-high eight rebounds. Lewis surpassed her previous career-high by five points, shooting 4-of-4 from 3-point range to pull down 20 points. Lewis is now 56 percent from the field and 60 percent from behind the arc for the season.
The Pride was led by the pairing of Ashunae Durant and Krystal Luciano, who combined for 37 points, 19 rebounds and 12 assists. Durant put up a total of 23 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Luciano contributed another 14 points, seven rebounds and matched Durant with another six assists.
Once again, it was the free throw line that became the deciding factor, as the Eagles led Hofstra from the field, 51.9 percent to 35.4 percent. From the charity stripe, however, the Pride dominated, shooting 81.8 percent while going 18-for-22.
The Eagles led heading out of the first period, after a jumper from Emily Kinneston and Lewis' first of four 3-pointers put AU on a 5-0 run to enter the break, 13-11.
AU led through most of the second period, with Hofstra gaining a one-point advantage briefly before a jumper from Carl put the Eagles back on top at the break, 25-24.
Momentum changed, however, coming out of the locker room, as Hofstra regained the lead from the tip with a pair of quick lay-ups. The Eagles bounced back after a 6-point deficit midway through the period, and a pair of baskets from senior Lauren Crisler and Lews, and a 3-point make from sophomore Elina Koskimies, put AU only one point behind heading into the fourth, 43-42.
The final quarter of regulation was a battle between both squads, with the lead switching three times and the teams tying up twice before a clutch layup by Carl with two seconds left evened the scores one final time, 59-59.
The Pride controlled most of the extra period, and led the Eagles, 72-67, by the final whistle.
The Eagles will continue their four-game road streak next weekend, with a Sunday matchup at Penn State on Dec. 18. For the latest on AU women's basketball, stay tuned to AUEagles.com and follow the team on Twitter @AU_WBasketball.

|Mugabe launches new currency in 'last gamble' for Zimbabwe
|November 28, 2016
Zimbabwe has launched a controversial new currency in a last ditch bid to inject desperately needed cash into its failing economy.
Many ordinary people fear the new "bond notes", issued on Monday by the central bank in Zimbabwe, will trigger economic chaos, wiping out savings and causing massive hardship for millions.
|Zimbabwe note launch stokes currency fears
|November 28, 2016
Zimbabwe has launched its own money for the first time since the country's dollar was abandoned seven years ago amid rampant inflation. The bond note, which is worth one US dollar - the country's main currency since 2009 - is raising fears of a return to the ill-fated local dollar.
The move, first announced in May, has fuelled some of the biggest protests in a decade against President Mugabe.

|Zimbabwe to introduce 'bond notes' in October

Zimbabwe will start circulating local bank notes in October and will not be returning to a domestic currency abandoned in 2009, the country's central bank governor said on Monday.
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mangudya described the local notes as vouchers meant to boost exports and generate foreign exchange and dismissed talk of a return to the local currency as "unfounded rumours". The country will also continue to use the dollar and other foreign currencies, Mangudya said.

|Zimbabwe to make Chinese yuan legal currency after Beijing cancels debts
|December 22, 2015
Zimbabwe has announced that it will make the Chinese yuan legal tender after Beijing confirmed it would cancel $40m in debts. Zimbabwe abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after hyperinflation, which had peaked at around 500bn%, rendered it unusable. It then started using a slew of foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the South African rand.

"They [China] said they are cancelling our debts that are maturing this year and we are in the process of finalising the debt instruments and calculating the debts," minister Patrick Chinamasa said in a statement.
Chinamasa also announced that Zimbabwe will officially make the Chinese yuan legal tender as it seeks to increase trade with Beijing.

The unloved Zimbabwean dollar, ravaged by hyperinflation that peaked at 500 billion percent in 2008, ceased to be legal tender on Friday as the southern African country switches fully to the U.S. dollar.

Last weekend in Milan was wonderful. After a rocky start in the form of a 5 hour stopover in Beauvais airport on the way out, I eventually found Ciara. We had a lovely posh hotel to stay in which was quite affordable while Italy shuts down and goes on holiday during August.
During the week was rather uneventful, with the exception of Mal's Surprise Birthday Party on Monday. It was a good night and everyone played "Give The Birthday Boy a Jack Daniels"… 🙂
This weekend was something else. I was working in the Maths Dept yesterdy afternoon and evening installing Debian onto 3 Dead Rat servers. After a couple of issues kept cropping up when things were going well, I eventually got to go home at 03:00 last night.
Today, I finally did what I have been planning all summer. I bought myself a new laptop. but not just any laptop, a nice decent laptop.
I'm also getting my act together and building a proper file server for all my stuff and am getting a decent graphics card for my workstation, to replace it's onboard Intel POS which is known to crap out randomly so I have to restart my workstation at inconvenient moments…

|A SCENE FROM THE 'UNAUTHORIZED' PHOTO SHOOT that has enraged the Village idiots. (If you wanted anonymity perhaps you should have bought Mr. Rogers' townhouse?)
Sarah Jessica Parker has enraged the residents of the West Village Townhouse that was Carrie Bradshaw's home in Sex and the City because they're silly twats who don't understand what rage is for. And it certainly isn't this: SJP staged an apparently unauthorized photo shoot on the steps of the storied townhouse, using it as the backdrop for her mouthwatering shoe line, the SJP Collection.
Page Six reports that the Villagers have grown so tired of the constant stream of SATC worshippers drooling over the brownstone at 66 Perry St. that they erected a chain over the stoop and a sign that says "Do NOT go on staircase please!" A sign that SJP naturally assumed did not apply to her, judging by the photos of her leaning over the chain to adjust her perfect little foot gems with Friendly Giant-esque precision (photo below).
She posted the photos to Instagram with the caption: "It was take your @sjpcollection shoes to work day. #longdayforCarrie #whewwwwthosesteps #runninginheels #taxi!" Which was apparently all it takes to send the townhouse residents hurtling over the edge of what I would loosely call sanity. Gerald Banu, president of the Perry Street Association, is quoted as fretting: "They didn't get permission from the owner (for the shoot). The situation with 'SATC' visitors is still very intense. People who live here get upset that the sidewalks are constantly jammed."
Right. Okay. So, first of all, anybody who buys a townhouse in a building that was once the soul, the heart, the very essence of Sex and the City is a goddam moron if he thinks it's not going to be a shrine forever. Get over yourselves, people. THAT IS CARRIE BRADSHAW'S HOUSE!
Secondly, and this is actually written right into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, shoes are an acceptable excuse for everything. Everything!
Prosecutor: Your Honour, she punched a helpless kitten in the vagina ...
Judge: *gasps* My God, what a monster!
Prosecutor: While wearing Manolos. The Hangisi satin ones with the buckle and the ....
Judge: Case dismissed!
EDITOR'S NOTE: Sex and the City ... that's the show with the talking horse in it, right?
MY NOTE: Hey, you know what's funny? Every time you say something witty I think of this SATC episode!
Yeah, that's right, you West Village Idiots: HER stoop!

So I told you that I ordered something that I've been wanting for a while now on monday and here it is, I got myself a very nice camera :D It's the Canon EOS1100 and I'm so so happy with it!! I love how I can really tell the difference between the pictures that I took with my old camera and this one!
I got it on Amazon for less than 400€, if anyone is interested, and I can't wait to take it with me on holiday :) Also, I had my second last work day today and I'll go to my last theory lesson on monday, so I'm quite in a good mood right now, because work and theory lessons really made me tired lately and I will soon be able to properly enjoy my holidays!
That's all I've got to say for now, I'm gonna have a shower, get some food and watch the new Pretty Little Liars episode and probably wander around the house and take pictures with my new camera, haha! TTYL, XO

For the first time in more than 20 years as a popular media personality, Oprah Winfrey has ventured into the political arena by endorsing Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"I've never taken this kind of risk before or felt compelled to stand up and speak out before, because there wasn't anyone to stand up for before," Winfrey said during an appearance at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids on Dec. 8, adding that she is not trying to tell anyone what to think but merely asking people to think seriously about Obama.
The television host campaigned alongside the senator and his wife, Michelle Obama, over the weekend in Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire. Despite icy road conditions in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, the events in those cities drew approximately 18,000 and 10,000 people respectively.
"I believe that Barack Obama will bring statesmanship to the White House," Winfrey said, arguing that the next president must have diplomatic skill in order to succeed in what she called dangerous times.
Explaining that she is worried about America, the television host said it's not only terrorism that concerns her but also what she characterized as the United States' growing estrangement from the rest of the world. In order to surmount today's global challenges, she said, Americans need to reconnect with the world and realize that all human hearts are the same.
Winfrey also addressed the question of whether Obama has the experience needed to succeed as president.
The amount of time a politician has spent in Washington isn't important unless that person is willing to be accountable for what he or she has done there, she said in a possible jab at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. Citing the Iraq war as an example, Winfrey said Obama stood against the war with clarity and conviction long before it was popular to do so, which drew some of the loudest cheers of the night.
Recent polls suggest Obama's strategy of emphasizing the importance of sound judgment and the ability to facilitate change may be succeeding in countering concerns some have raised about his limited experience in politics at the national level.
Obama led the Democratic field with 28 percent support among likely caucus participants in the Des Moines Register Iowa Poll from the end of November. Rodham Clinton placed second in that poll with 25 percent, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards placed third with 23 percent.
The McClatchy-MSNBC Poll, which Mason-Dixon Polling and Research conducted from Dec. 3-6 in the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, also shows an increasingly tight race.
Though the poll shows Rodham Clinton ahead in all three states, her lead over Obama is no more than 3 percent in any of them, which is significantly less than in most polls over the course of the campaign thus far.
Apparently recognizing the threat from the Obama campaign, Rodham Clinton has recently increased her focus on the need for political change and combined it with her emphasis on experience. Her most recent television ad in Iowa argues America needs "a new beginning" in foreign policy, pledging to end the war in Iraq if she is elected president.
"America desperately needs a new beginning, and we need a leader with the experience to help us achieve it," Rodham Clinton Iowa director Teresa Vilmain said in a press release announcing the new ad. "Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who can hit the ground running on day one to directly take on the challenges we face and bring real change."
At the Cedar Rapids event with Oprah, Obama directly confronted the notion that he should have waited longer before running for president. He argued that the fierce urgency of the issues facig America compelled him to run in 2008.
"Now is the time to stand up and create a new America," he said.

Eternal Visions hiring additional Immortal Staff
Ever want to be one of the immortals on a mud?
We have openings and would like to fill them with some wonderful people.
The job includes...
- Roleplaying with the mortals as your immortal being as well as on any mortal characters you create, we want to generate rp whenever we can
- Building with OLC (We are constantly working on new cities and areas to keep the world interesting)
- Answering questions from the mortals (we know that any new staff member will also have questions, we are all pretty helpful)
- Helping newbies (ie, answering questions, helping them find the help files or learn their class...)
- Find and fix errors/bugs (every Mud has them, so we work together to fix them)
- Currently we do like for our immortals to be online at least an hour per day of the week to be doing one of the things listed above, not just idling (although some of us do that too). If someone can't work on a certain day they are welcome to work on another day for that time. Basically 7 hours a week to be working on the mud. We are flexible so if people have conflicts then that is understandable.
We do have other roles that we try to fill as they come up, for the most part these are filled currently. These could change and may need to be filled by others if conflicts arise.
If you are even mildly interested then please come visit the mud, or send an email to the staff and we would love to set up a time to meet you.
Our website is Eternal Visions MUD and there is a link on there to our current forums.
Thanks for your interest!

The issue is that the 18-year-old muscle-bound athlete does not exactly exude femininity.
Put it this way, she is possibly the competitor in the women's 800 metres who would have the best chance of gaining access to the Garrick Club, London's exclusive gentleman's hang out.
The test is more complicated than the officials simply using their eyes, and it could take up to six weeks.
But if after that she is found to be in possession of too many male chromosomes, judging by her post-victory interviews, there is always a future for her as a Brian Blessed sound-alike.

At River Edge, a few top juveniles got away
DEL MAR, Calif. - It would be easy for Marty Wygod and Russell Drake to categorize Fancy Prancer and Officer as 2-year-olds who got away.
Last year, both were sold as yearlings. They have already advanced to the stakes level in their brief careers.
For Wygod, who bred the pair at River Edge Farm, which Drake manages, it would be easy to be disappointed. Except he owns both the sire and dam of both juveniles, two of the most promising California-bred 2-year-olds.
"The better they are, the happier I am," Wygod said. "I'm breeding 60 to 70 foals a year. I have to sell."
But there is a process that determines which foals are sold and which are kept by Wygod to race with his wife, Pam. The process falls on the shoulders of Drake, who could easily be bitter about letting a few potential stars get by, but insists that he is not.
"I'm kind of responsible for it," Drake said. "I'm the one that chooses which one goes in the sale. Sometimes they get by you. Also, you have families that you don't know a lot about. If I knew we're all the runners were, I'd be set."
"I'm the guy who looks bad, but I think I'm a good judge of weanlings and yearlings. I admire someone who can see the future in 2-year-olds."
Fancy Prancer sold for just $20,000 at a yearling sale in Arizona, won a minor stakes at Prairie Meadows on June 29 and started in Friday's $125,000 California Thoroughbred Breeders Association Stakes at Del Mar.
Officer, a maiden winner at Hollywood Park, will be favored to win Wednesday's $125,000 Graduation Stakes for 2-year-old California-breds. He was sold by Wygod for $175,000 last August at the Del Mar Yearling Sale and sold for $700,000 by Becky Thomas's Sequel Bloodstock to Thoroughbred Corp. at the Barretts March Sale of 2-year-olds in-training. Trainer Bob Baffert has said that Officer is one of his most promising 2-year-olds.
Both 2-year-old are by top California sire Bertrando, but come from mares found for reasonable prices by Drake at the 1997 Keeneland November breeding sale.
St. Helens Shadow, the dam of Officer, cost $117,000. She was best at 2, winning the Kachina Stakes for fillies at Ruidoso Downs. Bought in foal to Mountain Cat, Officer is her second foal. Her first, Whimsical Goddess, is in training with Julio Canani, Drake said.
St. Helens Shadow is 8, and was bred to Bertrando this year. Wygod has a full brother to Officer that Drake says he will not sell.
"We were looking for the type that looked like they would cross well with Bertrando," Drake said. "She's fit the bill pretty good. From looking at her, she's done well with him."
Fancy Prancer is out of Oh No It's You, who is by Miswaki. She was bought for $60,000, and is off to a successful start as a broodmare. Oh No It's You is the dam of Alyou, the winner of this year's Albuquerque Derby, and Blushing Deed, who was second in the Grade 2 Astarita Stakes at Belmont Park in 1998.
Fancy Prancer was sent to the Arizona yearling sale, which Wygod has supported for nearly a decade. Her success, which before Friday included a win in the Prairie Gold Lassie Stakes at Prairie Meadows, has been a surprise to Drake.
"When she was a yearling I thought I picked the wrong kind of mare," he said. "The mare's type does well with Bertrando. She was a good-sized yearling when I sold her. She might not finish growing until she's 16 or 17 hands. She was a bit tall and immature as a yearling."
This summer, River Edge will have eight yearlings in the Del Mar Sale, including three by Benchmark and two by Bertrando. Even with well-bred yearlings, it will not be easy to surpass last year's success with Officer.
"We have to sell a certain number of runners to keep things going at the farm," Drake. "I was tickled Officer bought $175,000. I hope they turn him into a champion."

GARRISON, MN (08/09/17) – After meeting with Mille Lacs resort owners this morning Representative Matt Dean demanded that Governor Mark Dayton immediately cease the fishing restrictions on the lake and allow people to fish and eat walleye from the lake. The effects of these policies are potentially devastating: Launch business is down more than 75 percent, and business that was valued at $2.3 million in 2005 now could not be sold for $500,000.
"I was pleased to hear firsthand from those whose work is to create a thriving fishing and tourism economy in this part of the state," said Dean. "These job creators have fallen victim to political posturing again and again under Governor Dayton. But their work is too valuable to be used as a political pawn."
The Dayton Administration has currently closed walleye fishing on Lake Mille Lacs, at the advice of the Department of Natural Resources. Both political bodies have places various additional restrictions, including making it illegal to "target" walleye, have been placed on Mille Lacs in the last few years. Limiting tourists' use of Lake Mille Lacs means fewer people visiting the area throughout the year.
"We can't let an overly-political DNR play politics with the economic future of the area" said Dean. "Minnesota should work to create jobs, foster industry, and support the folks who do both."
Dean spent the day in Garrison, meeting with resort owners, and touring the lake with a group of disabled veterans.

EVENT DATE: Feb 15, 2012
Hello, my name is Mike Russell and I am a filmmaker/director. I have been involved with a couple Hollywood films and tv shows in Miami and have directed some of my own. Right now I am currently wrapping up a MFA in Directing, however, I came up with a project idea when I was working in the Solomon Islands this last year.
The film project that I am trying to lift off ground is about a proposed short film in the Solomon Islands. The story is based on the Solomon Islands Second World War scouts and coast watchers in Honiara at the Battle of Guadalcanal.
I have worked with developers in this country who have just recently put up a monument titled, "Pride of Our Nation" to give back a memorial to the local Solomon Islanders who fought in WWII.
The battles that happen during WWII there showed the war service and bravery of Solomon Islanders and must be spread out to the rest of the world to build their pride of a nation.
During WWII, the the scouts kept the coast watchers (British) safe and also gathered information on the enemy's movement.
History has showed that if it wasn't for the scouts and coast watchers there wouldn't have been Guadalcanal and without Guadalcanal, the war in the pacific would not have been won.
Based on this short history, I have already met several Solomon Islanders and they are happy about my project idea and would really like to see it come alive.
The idea is to use local film crews, actors and actresses, and other locals to help film this short film that I propose to make less than 30 minutes.
The goal is to send this film to film festivals around the world, but not for fame or money, I would like to share this to the rest of the world about the great people of this small island in the pacific who played a major part of WWII and they should be recognized for their sacrifices.
The goal is to raise $20,000. Although a large amount of money to raise, the costs to fly down to the Solomon Islands is quite high as well as paying the locals to help me make the film.
If your interested in donating to my fundraiser, I will give you producing credits. Also since I am a director, I am writing the script, but if there are any writers out there that would be interested in joining me, then by all means contact me about it. I would love your help. more heads are better than one. : )
The goal of the short film is to depict the life of a local Solomon Islander scout and what their view of WWII was all about. Basically, incorporate a short heros journey, but the theme of the film that I want to portray is pride in a small country, bigger than the world.
The overall goal is to get the audience to be proud of where they come from.
I hope to see your donations.
Thank you.
Mike Russell

Wu Tsang (b. 1982) is an artist, performer, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles (USA). His multimedia-oriented oeuvre focuses on narratives that construct identity and the self in relation to others. In particular, Tsang is interested in the socio-political dimensions of communities.
With his excessive agglomerations of materials and unconventional narrations, Christoph Schlingensief (1960–2010) creates flowing transitions between art genres. To wrap up the threepart collection presentation on excesses in form and motif within contemporary art, his comprehensive work Kaprow City (2006/ 2007) will be exhibited.

This is a forum for shareholders of Aladdin Separation Technologies Inc.(Formerly Haber Inc.) and anyone else who is concerned about pollution to people and the environment triggered by cyanide and mercury usage in gold mining. In Wired you will not uncover articles on how to upgrade your computer, alternatively you will locate topics on on the internet culture, science, company, and of course shiny new gadgets! The third challenge can be through a taking seriously of the future of law's engagement with technology. Generating or choosing these assignments can be time consuming when a flipped classroom is initial designed. The Technology Association of Georgia will be hosting a Technology Roundtable to bring together business and eduction. I am a huge fan of technology that aids us. But I have seen far also a lot technology that tries to do everything and gets in the way. I have gained knowledge over my life on how to use technology, and have acquired the abilities necessary to have information of the globe about me. Even so, there is nonetheless millions of information that I have however to gather, and the understanding that I do know is continuously altering with the advances in technology.
I teach with technology at lot, and I usually want my students to believe critically about uses, but don't always have these great concerns to engage them with. India's responsible stewardship of nuclear technology and its declaration on nuclear testing helped this approach. In the 1900's, many folks did not reside past the age of 50, but individuals now live beyond 75 years due to the advancement in technology that has resulted to excellent lives. Now, it is greater to say to what extent science and technology have been acceptable to the present generation.
To, mention a couple of, corded telephone transformed into the cordless phone, pay phones have been substantially reduced in most locations: a causation from the cell phone invention, or often referred to as a mobile phone, regional Tv programming morphed into satellite or cable providing 180 or more channels, personal computer with Web, snail mail has been almost replaced with e-mail, and printed newspapers still exist but many men and women receive their news on-line.
If you want the technologies active for a specific variant, you have to mark them active for every single distinct variant you wish to have the technology. As technology is ever altering the wants of enterprise innovation needs to match the inspiration of technology. Nevertheless, we are already starting to see 3DTVs that never require 3D glasses and as technology advances and a lot more shoppers start off switching, the prices will come down sooner or later. This short description provides some indication for the way in which data technology can be leveraged to resolve disputes. This time we go over the end of the semester and reflect back on some of the different technologies implemented in the classroom and how they helped boost the teaching and learning approach. This is what often occurs with info technology the finish of a single paradigm spurs study pressure to move onto the subsequent one. Thus I never want technology to be invisible at all, specially not in schools.
The point of these roundtables are to gain a viewpoint from the market side on what human capital demands they have in respect to technology positions, and from the education side on what opportunities are accessible to companies hunting to employ technology talent. There are surely exceptions, but it usually tends to make sense to have an individual else driving the technology. Music technology professors Rob Harari and Carlos Alomar create experimental music with students in Stevens' music technology lab. By way of a series of concerns I am going to not only ask you to reflect on what you did, but also in the method challenge some firmly entrenched assumptions with regards to technology. When a client is against making use of technology in litigation, there are most likely no solid arguments to this.
